Odysseys of Survival is an engaging, far-reaching inquiry into techniques of survival, emerging out of interviews conducted by psychologist Julia Brodie. Over the course of five years, she crisscrossed the country, interviewing forty-six Holocaust survivors, ex-prisoners of war and former political prisoners. With sensitivity, honesty and courage, Julia and Sandy have woven these stories into a history lesson, a psychological study, and a testament to human resilience. The first-person oral histories remain starkly unvarnished, allowing the reader to experience imprisonment through eyes that were never certain of a future. The authors, however, approach the psychological responses to such trauma in a fresh way, bringing out the human element. Preliminary readers across a wide demographic (e.g., historians, psychologists, veterans, educators, pastors and attorneys) have routinely been captured by the survival stories.
